Question

The revenue, in dollars, of a company that produces jeans can be modeled by 2x2 + 17x – 175. The cost, in dollars, of producing the jeans can be modeled by 2x2 – 3x – 125. The number of pairs of jeans that have been sold is represented by x. The profit is the difference between the revenue and the cost, 20x – 50. If 75 pairs of jeans are sold, what is the company’s profit?

Answer 1

The profit that is gained from the production and selling of the jeans is given to be calculated through the the equation,
                          P = 20x - 50
For 75 jeans, we just have to substitute 75 to the x's of the equation. This then becomes,
                        P = 20(75) - 50 = 1450
Thus, the company will make a profit of $1450 by production of 75 jeans.
